Comments on: Palm Releases OS 4.1 Update for m500 and m505
The update includes several patches that have already been available separately, including one that prevents OS 4.0 models from using SD cards larger than 32 MB. It also includes Copy Update, which lets the Launcher's Copy function copy user data associated with an application.

RE: Palm Limitations
RE: Palm Limitations
Although I really like Palm products, I have to admit the new thin Toshiba PPC with integrated 801 is a very, very nice PDA. And since I have a wireless network at the house......
RE: Palm Limitations
RE: Palm Limitations
i'll try it tonight, i have a win2k machine laying around the house somewhere. after that, i'll try to sync on xp(my main machine).
it seems like a bad idea to release a software upgrade that won't work on the newest OSes from both MS and apple.
hopefully (and i can't imagine why not) the 4.1 m505 will sync with xp.
and fortunatly, this upgrade opnly has to be performed once.

I do have Palm m505 and Windows 95. What's wrong about it?
RE: Palm Limitations
RE: Palm Limitations
I tried the COMPATIBILITY change by running the app as a Windows 2000 program. I've also UNASSIGNED MY SECURITY PASSWORD before running it (as recommended by someone else on this forum). It seemed to do the trick, though not without my share of problems.
If anyone is having problems updating to OS 4.1 through USB cables sold by Landware or the like, try using the Palm cradle that was originally shipped with your Palm instead. I used the Hotsync/Charger cable from Landware at work, and could NOT perform the update on a Windows 2000, XP or 98SE machine. When I went home and used by cradle, no problem running the updater. BTW, at home I'm running WindowsXP Pro with an m505 (w/ upgraded internal 16MB RAM).
However, I had to launch the updater 6 times until it finally updated properly. The other 5 times gave me update errors which left my Palm COMPLETELY unusable because it was stuck in the debugging mode (with the blue line running along the bottom of the screen). I've also restarted my computer once after installing the updater.
Since I had no intention of leaving my m505 in that dead state of debugging limbo, I was left with no choice but to keep trying and trying. Eventually, I was lucky enough to have the update sucessfully complete! I am now at 4.1. All that work for colored memos! :P Heheh.. just kidding.
Anyway, I hope this helps for those who might be having the same issues as I.

RE: Palm Limitations
Sorry if this statement was a bit confusing. I was referring to the unassigning of the security password in your Palm before running the updater.

How do you do that m505 upgrade to 16MB RAM? That makes it an m515, no/yes?
Any help appreciated.

RE: Palm Limitations
Look on eBAY or web search for Palm memory upgrades. This is a service I think for about $100 to go from 8mb to 16mb. Still the better screen, new Docs2GO version & possibly other upgraded software are on the 515.
It also doesn't work!
Sad that Palm can't get an update like this to work.

I suggest to attempt to run the Palm(TM) OS 4.1 upgrade with no other
applications running in the background. If you have anything in the
System Tray in the lower right corner, attempt to shut these off except
the HotSync® Manager and attempt the upgrade again. If this does not
resolve the issue, I suggest to attempt the upgrade on another computer.

Anyways, it didn't work at all, even when I tried it on another Win2k box. I dont have a Win98 box to try it on. My other other one is Win XP. Oh well, I guess I'll wait for a patch to fix the upgrade (hopefully they'll fix it)

RE: It also doesn't work!
Error message appears towards the end of running the installer. The Palmm500_ENG_Flash Tool appears in the correct folder though. When I run it, I get the message: "Palmm500_eng_flashtool has caused an error in PALMM500_ENG_FLASHTOOL.EXE. Palmm500_eng_flashtool will not close." It closes OK and does cause any other problems. Tried restart, no difference. Tried reinstalling, same result.
I use WinMe on a Dell laptop (but using USB, not serial cable, so haven't disabled the IR port).

RE: Does it works with EFIGS ROM???
Read the readme homepage.
Remove files from flash and release flash (JackFlash).
Make a COMPLETE backup of your RAM data (by some means)
Installation Instructions
If you are a Windows user and have downloaded the zip file:
Download the zip file to your hard drive.
Extract the file using a standard unzip utility. Note the location of the directory/folder the file is extracted to.
Locate Palmm50X_eng4_1_FlashNew file in the directory/folder noted in Step 2 above and double-click on it.
Then the fun begins.
A. When the hotsync button is pressed this little nice window pops up with text and exit button.
attempting to upgrade. Click exit and locate the
correct upgrade utility for your handheld.>
B. Next try is the advanced mode update
I bring the Palm in debug mode by:
1. unassign password
2. press scroll down button while
2.a. press and release reset button by pen
2.b. wait several seconds
2.c. see one blink in upper left corner (if lucky)
C. When the palm is back in the cradle the next button becomes available...
But a new error pups up.. something like "flash could not be updated cause some of it is locked"
(sorry I didnt made a screendump of that window)
D. Hard Reset Palm
E. Reinstall old EFIGS ROM backup with all languages (see Brayder JackSprat doc.)
F. Try step A but same result.
G. Perform step B again.
H. When the palm is back in the cradle the next button becomes available...
And it worked !!!!
So as you found out it seems not to work on efigs rom.
But if you do it on "non-mingled" efigs rom it can be done in advanced mode.
Good luck
:-)

RE: Does it works with EFIGS ROM???
Congrats on upgrading your m505. I tried to go into debug mode, but somehow it can never work. I never get to see the blinking cursor.
Is there any other way to do this?

Confusion (an possibly incompetence)
"Palm OS 4.1 Software Upgrade for the Palm m500 and m505 handhelds is not compatible with Windows XP and Mac OS X."
Hm, does this mean I can't do the upgrade from WinXP or that my Palm won't sync with WinXP after an upgrade...? Or both...?
(Doesn't matter much anyway, as other people have found that I can't do the upgrade at all on a non-US Palm.).
RE: Confusion (an possibly incompetence)
RE: Confusion (an possibly incompetence)
Maybe we should consider PPCs - oh, yeah, that's right. PPC OSs are from micro****, just as bad! YIKES!
Very poor execution
But, they have handled this about as poorly as can be imagined.
"No, there is no update for m500, m505."
"Yes, there is but it won't work on any new OS"
"Oh, it breaks on every other OS, too..."
They would have been better off not even releasing it. Sigh...

4.1 Fixed SD Card broke by 4.0, sort of.....
I had previously tried using a 128MB SD card on my m505 with problems. When I tried to format the SD card in the m505 the card stopped working completely, and could not even be formatted anymore by my digital camera (Minolta DImageX), a SanDisk USB SD card reader, a Porteson mp3 player Palm accessory, or even by my new Toshiba e310.
Now with OS 4.1 I tried a format of the 'broken' card, the Palm just said 'Formatting' and locked up. When I did a hard reset the Palm came up asking if I wanted to format the SD card. I said yes, again the Palm locked up. (or it takes longer than 1/2 hour to format 128MB).
But, then I put the 'broken' card in the Toshiba e310 and it formatted OK. The card is now usable and works in both devices.
So OS 4.1 fixed the card OS 4.0 broke. Kinda of, Sort of..... fixed??

Make sure you have the newer version of JackFlash, 2.3.3 (2.4 is available but only adds hi res support). I received a similar message when I moved my former version of JackFlash from the 505 to the 515. If you do have the current version, I'd check with Brayder for advice, or go back to the original ROM and install the card patch from palm called FATfs.prc to take care of any large card issues. Funny thing was that my former m505 did fine with 64 and 128Mb cards...

RE: I am a SONY fan but I applause for Palm.
Upgrading from 3.x to 4.0 is really an upgrade.
RE: I am a SONY fan but I applause for Palm.
In fact 710c can be upgraded to OS4 on your own & save the $50, but that's another story. You void the warranty too. Gee this is such an old topic that I don't want to talk about it.
RE: I am a SONY fan but I applause for Palm.
IMHO most of the problems people are ahving are a fault between the monitor & the keyboard (ie the user...)

Fatal error (after backup and reset)
RE: Fatal error (after backup and reset)
I contact Technical Support (actually very helpful) they indicated that they have received,"a few calls today" about the upgrade. The only thing he could do was issue me a refurbished unit with OS4.0 on it. He did say that it appears several of my OS4.0 apps are not OS4.1 compatible. I find that odd since I am sure SplashID, SplashPhoto, Silverscreen, ActionNames and others are OS4.1 ready.
So I will get a new one next week, limp along until then and then ship out to get the memory upgrade done all over again. I will not upgrade to OS5 when the first units come out since they now doubt will have a better unit six months later to fix the problems with the first one.
One last thought, I had over 10MB of apps on my palm that needed to reside on the Palm so the memory upgrade was necessary (see M515).
RE: Fatal error (after backup and reset)
RE: Fatal error (after backup and reset)
: work with OS4.1P. After three hours of hard resets, I
: have found that DocsToGo doesn't work.
Docs-To-Go worked for me after the upgrade without a hitch. Did you try reinstalling both the Palm (.prc) apps, as well as the Docs-To-Go desktop software? Other apps I use such as DateBk5, AvantGo, PalmReader, MGI PhotoSuite also had no problems.
The only program I've had a problem with after my completed upgrade to OS 4.1 was thinkDB 2.5. But I simply deleted and reinstalled the .prc file. Now it works fine.
Jim
RE: Fatal error (after backup and reset)
Palm also does not have an OS4.0 update out there so you cannot reverse this you can only get a replacement if you are under warranty which I fortunately are. But now I have to upgrade the memory again.
What is the problem
One note, when it does the first hotsync to backup, avoid touching the unit, it installs a program to update and the screen goes completely blank except for a small line at the bottom of the screen.
I think what everyone needs to remember is that you are doing a flash update. ANYONE who has ever done a flash update knows that if it is interupted in the middle, you are sol.
My advice, just let it do what it does. There are times in the update when it looks like it is just doing nothing, let it do nothing. All together it took about 10 minutes.

RE: Respose from Palm....
RE: Respose from Palm....
I repeatedly explained that I could not get my m505 into debug mode. There was no response to this issue. I also mentioned that the update would not work and that I had tried everything I could find in the forums. Their responses are shown below. They are just obtuse verbage that really ignored my questions and problems. They are probably canned responses. What good is having any support if they ignore your questions? As you can see below, response #1 had me uninstall the desktop software. Unfortunately, without it, you can not run the updater because condmgr.dll could not be found and the software can not communicate with the m505. Duh?
I replied to response #1 and explained that the first response had no relevance to my original message and that the instructions did not work. I repeated my problem of not being able to get the m505 into debug mode. I told them that if I held down the down scroll button and reset the device, all I ended up with was a blank screen. There was no blue line, no blinking box. A reset was necessary to get it out of this state. I waited over five minutes in this state to see if perhaps it would enter debug.
Regardless, they responded again with another totally useless message! I am positive that they do not have any skilled support people left there. If they did, they would deal with this issue on their web site immediately so that others could get the update to work. Instead, they waste all of our time with this nonsense. How pathetic this situation is!
(Sorry about the length of this post, but I am really ticked at them and yes I am in the US! I have now lost interest and patience with them. My next PDA will not be from this company. Yes, it will probably run Palm OS, but it will not be from them!)
***************************
Response 1:
Thank you very much for your inquiry.
I understand that you are experiencing difficulties in upgrading the Operating System(OS) on your Palm(TM) m505 handheld. I understand your concern in the matter and am pleased to provide the following resolution.
<<Unable to upgrade OS>>
If, while trying to upgrade the operating system on your Palm(TM) handheld, you notice the 'Next' button does not highlight, or the upgrade fails, you may need to uninstall Palm Desktop and run the Upgrade Utility again. Before doing this, you will want to back up your User data. Please follow the steps below to resolve this issue:
NOTE: The Palm OS® upgrades are only recommended for Palm brand handhelds, and we suggest disabling the Infrared port (if applicable) before performing the Palm OS upgrade.
*Backup User data*
1. Double-click My Computer on the Windows® desktop.
2. Open the C: Drive, select and open the Palm or Pilot folder.
3. Right-click the User folder and select Copy.
4. Close any open windows, so you can see the desktop.
5. Right-click an empty location on the desktop; select Paste.
6. The User folder should appear, if it does not appear, please repeat steps one through five.
*Uninstall Palm Desktop*
1. Ensure the HotSync® Manager and all applications are closed.
2. Click Start, select Settings, and open the Control Panel.
3. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.
4. Scroll down the list of programs, select Palm Desktop or Pilot Desktop, and click the Add/Remove button.
5. When asked, 'Do you wish to completely remove Palm Desktop', click Yes.
6. You should receive a window stating the Palm Desktop was completely removed; click OK.
*Run the OS upgrade utility*
1. Place your Palm handheld into Debug Mode by doing the following:
a. Press and hold the Down-scroll button.
b. At the same time, depress the reset button on the back of the Palm device. You can use a small blunt object, such as a paperclip, or use the reset tool in the end of your stylus.
You should see a blinking square in the upper-left corner of your Palm handheld. If the blinking square is not visible, please repeat Step one until you see the blinking cursor.
2. Place your Palm handheld in the HotSync(R) cradle and start the Palm OS Upgrade Utility.
3. Once Palm Desktop version 4.0.1 is installed, you will be asked to restart your computer; please do so.
4. On the main Palm OS upgrade screen, please choose the Advanced button.
5. Choose the correct ROM file, if it is not already selected.
NOTE: If there is not a ROM file listed, or if you are unable to click the Next button, please perform the Palm OS upgrade on a different computer.
6. The OS upgrade should start, with a 'static' like screen appearing on the Palm handheld device. A status bar should also appear, indicating how long the upgrade should take.
7. Once the Palm OS upgrade is complete, you will need to reset the Palm handheld again, by depressing the reset button on the back of the Palm device.
8. Perform a HotSync operation to retrieve your information.
If these steps do not resolve your issue, please perform the Palm OS upgrade on a different computer, as this often resolves upgrade issues.
***************************
Response 2:
Thank you very much for your inquiry.
During the Palm OS® flash of the m505, the screen will appear to be blank, but the flash is actually running.
You will need to reinstall the Palm(TM) Desktop software onto your computer, otherwise there is no way your Palm can communicate with your computer. The previous e-mail stated to remove the Palm Desktop
software, but it is contained on the OS upgrade CD-ROM and should have prompted you to install before running the upgrade.
For further questions you may send another E-mail message or use our telephone support.
Backlight Control?
Now my backlight seems to come on depending on the previous state when it shut down. This is just like the Palm patch released a while ago which I thought was useless. I have always used GlowHack as you can set time windows when it should be on and off, really handy. Now I can't use it because it appears Palm has built their backlight patch in and so you can't delete it and I haven't figured out how to disable it. It seems to overide GlowHack so if I had my backlight off in the day and then I turn my Palm on at night, GlowHack would have turned the backlight on. Now it flashes on for a split second, GlowHack working, and then it goes off, Palm trying to work. Anyone else notice this or am I alone on this one. Also, anyone know how to get rid of the Palm version?
How to install the update
Also, while using the application compatibility mode setting set to windows 2000 works for getting the update to run under windows xp, it will not actually flash the code under xp - the next button never becomes active, due to some kind of USB communication issue. (Hope they fix this one)
Hope this helps folks out who are having trouble.
RE: How to install the update
hope it helps.
RE: How to install the update
I try it and now my data & Flash is erased and at the 100% of the software installation to the Palm it gives the error "Encountered and error flashing the ROM into the handheld. The system cannot find the path specified" and I have to shut it down.
My Palm is zapped dead in the water now and my trusty Palm rep has taken an early weekend it seems?
Any ideas?

RE: Frustrating!
How about waiting until palm gets an updater working in their native language then localize it. Shesh, take a pill, at least your palm still works.
Palm is a company of disingenuous pigs!
And then the update doesn't install properly/work?
I submit that Palm released it so we would all think warm and fuzzy thoughts about Palm. However, I submit that PALM IS A COMPANY OF DISINGENUOUS PIGS! If Palm and its employees REALLY cared about its customers, they would have (1) released it for us a year ago and (2) they would AT LEAST have quality engineered this release well enough so it would actually work!
I submit that Palm's release of this sh!t "update" is just another part of a scandalous and dishonest marketing campaign to force users to buy newer Palm models. Simply, this is BU!!$#!T!!!!!!!!!!

RE: OS Size Differential

Upgrade failed, I should have known better
I followed the proceedure for my M505 to the letter, and at the very moment when I was expecting to see "snow" on the screen, instead the error message appeared saying the upgrade had failed and an error log was being written. I never did find where the error log was being written.
I poked around a bit in the knowledge base and found the proceedure for placing the device into debug mode. "hold scroll button down and do pin reset, then release scroll button after a few seconds." To no avail, repeated several times. I did notice a time or two a horizontal line appearing about half way down the screen, but no little flashing square.
So I sent the email...response after 24 hours said I should do hard reset. Apparently the tech rep didn't get the gist of my email. I said the unit is totally unresponsive to any input except that the charge light glows when it is in the cradle. So I clarified in my reply. If I have to buy a new palm, I am going to be pissed. But never enough to buy a Pocket PC.
In the past, the only time I've ever had problems with my Palm device is after installing freeware. Technically this upgrade package qualifies as freeware. I never suspected the "mother ship" would send me defective freeware. Maybe there is a plot to disable all the M5xx's out there to induce us to upgrade to the upcoming OS5 units.

Take a look at your Palm device while it's in your cradle (so that we know it has power). You should see a thin blue strip lining the bottom of the screen. If you see this, then that means it's ready to be flashed (or it's stuck in the flashing mode).
Inititally, mine was also stuck in the same way yours is and I was worried. So I continued to flash the ROM with the updater MANY times thereafter, and it finally worked! (After 5 times with install errors). Keep trying and trying.. I mean, at this point, you have nothing to lose anyway.
At least getting to the point of the "debugging mode" means it's a good sign that the updater CAN work. Well, I'm hoping this is the case.
Hope this helps.
